Statistics for Development Division of the Pacific Community (SDD)

The Statistics for Development Division (SDD) is one of SPC’s nine technical divisions and operates from SPC’s headquarters in Noumea, New Caledonia. The bulk of SDD’s sector work focuses on economic and social statistics, with other thematic statistical work covered by other SPC divisions. We have a shared work programme with many of these divisions, including with programmes focusing on agriculture, gender, energy and transport statistics. The SDD team is comprised of statistical experts including demographers, economists, epidemiologists and social statisticians working alongside technological experts in geographic information systems, database development, data-processing and web development - all supported by highly skilled publications, project management and financial planning staff.
